Chapter 4

"Where are we going?" I asked him. We're currently inside his car. I seating on the passenger seat and him driving heading somewhere he wouldn't tell me. I've been bugging him the same question since we left the café but he's been awfully silent and I feel like his planning something bad. (Is he going to kidnap me? And then ask ransom from my parents?)

"What are you really planning to do to me?" I ask again feeling a tiny bit nervous about the thoughts running inside my head.

"I'm not kidnapping you for ransom if that's your concern. We're just heading somewhere private. You'll know when we get there." He said not once glancing at me. He's been driving for the last 30 minutes and it feels like we're not yet close to our destination. He's been driving insanely fast and he's using the route heading out of the city.

"Can you calm down? You're making me feel anxious." He says after some time. He glanced at me for a bit.

"Calm down??! How can I calm down when you're driving insanely fast and you've been terribly quiet driving for more than 30 minutes and not telling me where we're heading. Do you expect me to just sit here in the passenger seat waiting to arrive at an unknown destination when it feels like I've been kidnapped by a stranger which I stupidly agreed to go with? And how did you even manage to call our company when you were talking to a woman back there? ... This is just unbelievable!" I said facing him looking rather exhausted from all the negative thoughts in my mind.

"First things first... I am not a stranger-"

"Not a stranger HUH! ... The only thing I know about you is that you're name's Clark. Sh-t is that even you're real name?"I asked my eyes widened. It will really be horrible if it isn't.

"Look Ms. Lopez. Can you let me finish first? And yes my name's actually Clark. Clark John Lee. I'm no total stranger. Your friend ... I think her name is Celine ... is my cousin's girlfriend. We met two weeks ago at a family gathering. She was introduced to me by my cousin Sean. I'll tell you the story later when we arrive... We're almost there."He said. I glanced at him and murmured "arrogant" under my breath.

I silently stared outside. Slowly opening the window, feeling the breeze in my face. The air outside is absolutely refreshing. A breathe of fresh air is calming my nerves making me relax in my seat. I let myself enjoy the silence in the remaining minutes of the ride.

~~~~~~~~

After a few minutes of calming silence I saw that we we're about to enter a tall gate. There is a wall as tall as the gate so as not to see what lies inside. As we entered the gate, I couldn't help but appreciate the view and the house (more like a villa to me). The exterior itself is beautiful in Spanish architecture. It is a two-story bungalow by the beach. It has its own swimming pool and is absolutely well-maintained and the view is breathtaking.

He stopped the car just outside the house. He looks at me and then turns off the engine.

"We're here" he said.

"Obviously" I remarked just as quickly.

"Why are you so rude? What did I do to you?" he asked. Gone was his infuriating, arrogant attitude replaced with the playful one.

"Well... For one you kidnapped me, bringing me here... Second you deserve it... you were an arse. There are a lot more reasons but it may take a whole day and I'm tired. Why did you bring me here anyway?"

He opened the car door and went outside. He turned to the other side (my side) and opened the door for me. He offered his hand and gestured for me to go down then said.

"Technically, I did not kidnap you... You came with me on your own free will. I have a lot of witnesses for that. For one Sean's sister who I was talking to earlier and then my sister was also there as a waitress.

Anyway... I am not the mastermind for this. Celine together with your 2 friends are. Oh and your mom as well. I met her yesterday she's nice. I like her."

He winks at me and before I could say anything he ran quickly inside the house. It took me a minute to take in everything he said but got even more puzzled with the situation.

I followed him inside. He better answer all these questions in my head. I tried to uncover the mystery but it seems that the more I think about it all the more questions arises. This so freaking confusing!
